Atomos.7593 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Is this ever going to be fixed? It is very annoying, and I don't think I've played any other game that forcibly changes your camera zoom and never changes it back. A lot of bosses in central Tyria seem to have this problem.

Cronospere.8143 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 And while they are fixing this. Increase the zoom out. Some world bosses are so big you cant see them when you are near them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demitel.1340 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Meh, nitpickers problems. Am I the only one who is fine with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Related, I wouldn't mind a min zoom/max zoom. Maybe like shift- or alt-mouse up/down does a full zoom in/out, respectively. I'm set up so each 'click' of the mouse wheel (I know some mouse wheels don't actually click, mine does) does a pretty small movement, so going from full zoom in to full zoom out is a bit more rolling than I'd like. Regarding the original topic, the ability to toggle it on or off would be good. I've gotten so used to how it works and just adjust to it out of muscle memory habits, if it were forced off tomorrow for me, it might be weird.

Katelynn.6593 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I hate auto zoom during jumping puzzles. No, I'm angling my camera to jump the right way. I'm not angling it to get a real close up view of the steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said it before, stop taking control of my camera Arenanet, give me a checkbox option to lock camera, I do not need you deciding where my camera should be.... I did the Claw of Jormag fight in Drizzlewood the other day and the camera zooms you in so close you can't see anything else around you well including the adds that spawn. I can only imagine that it is done for dramatic effect, but the least they could do if they want to force it on us is to revert it back to the original camera setting after the zoom in is done.

Vavume.8065 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 It's actually quite pathetic that 8 years into a game's development that there is still no option to lock the camera to stop it from being zoomed in and out during boss fights.

Gimli.9461 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Plus plus, stop zooming me in and out! I take great care to find the zoom level I most enjoy on a character I play, depending on their race, and I love being zoomed in just right for immersion, so the world feels bigger and more immersive. Then you ZOOM ME OUT. Stop it! Is it harder to fight zoomed in? Yes. But I can zoom out myself, using my mouse wheel, thanks much! Worst of all, sometimes game zooms me out for no reason at all!

Gimli.9461 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I think I found a way to somewhat mitigate the zoom. Put your "Zoom Sensitivity" and "Collision Sensitivity" sliders all the way to the left. This will make zooming in and out a lot take quite a bit of scrolling - each click is worth only small bit of zoom. But seems when the game zooms you out eg at a world boss, it won't go nearly as far as it normally does. And the collision slider, I think, means the game will not try to detect you're colliding and take control of the camera to make you look around things, and thus not take zoom control? Not so sure about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather disappear behind a wall for a sec than have my knowledge of where everything is totally disrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being, there should need to be a fix. Freezing the zoom angle should be an existing option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being, there should need to be a fix. Freezing the zoom angle should be an existing option. An existing option ANet can't be bothered to put into the game for years. Won't happen, sad story is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
